Just a random thought, but I really do believe this team has way too much talent, even on paper, to have a 5-13 record. They have 2 all star scoring guards (DeRozan even made it last year) Vucevic who while not at his all star level anymore, is still a good center. They have probably the best guard defender in the league, some decent role players. There is just 0 reason why they should have a worse record than the Jazz (no offense) or the Hornets. Idk if its mainly a coaching or effort issue or what
All of those guys are not really that great. DeMar has gotten a bit worse each year so far Chicago which is to be expected at his age. Lavine hasn’t made any improvements. And all three of them are negative defenders. Combine that with another year without Lonzo (which is the main factor imo) + Caruso not being able to play the heavy minutes he did the first year in Chicago and we’re seeing the team gradually fall apart.
